Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6-8 handfuls Tortilla Chips
1 lb Chicken (cooked and shredded (pre-cooked rotisserie is a great option))
2 cups Chili (quality canned or homemade)
8 oz Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
3 cups Shredded Lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
1 Tomato (diced)
1/2 cup Pickled Jalapenos
1/4 cup Black Olives (sliced)
2 Green Onions (sliced)
Avocado (diced)
Cilantro
Salsa
Sour Cream
Guacamole

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to broil. Heat the chili in the microwave until hot. You can use any sort of oven safe dish, cookie sheet, or cast iron skillet for this recipe.
  • Layer 1/2 of the chips in the dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the chicken, chili and cheese over top. You can add olives or jalapenos here too if you like. Layer the other half of the chips and hot toppings. Keep the chips spread out rather than clumped up, so every chip gets evenly warmed.
  • Put in the oven for 4-8 minutes or until the cheese fully melts and the tips of the chips begin to brown.
  • Top with lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, and other desired toppings if you wish. Serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side if you prefer.

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2 tablespoons chili powder
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup olive oil
8 ounces tomato sauce
A few dashes hot sauce
1 large bag tortilla chips
3 cups grated Cheddar-Jack (approximately -- you may need more or less)
1/4 cup jarred jalapeno slices
1/4 cup chopped pitted black olives
3 tomatoes, finely chopped
3 green onions, green and white parts, finely chopped
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the taco seasoning and chili powder all over the chicken breasts.
  • Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and saute on both sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side, then remove from the skillet and set aside. To the skillet, add the tomato sauce, hot sauce and 2 cups hot water and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Shred the chicken with 2 forks, then return the shredded chicken to the liquid and simmer on low until everything is hot and bubbly.
  • Assemble the nachos in 2 ways: Sprinkle a layer of tortilla chips onto 2 ovenproof plates or baking dishes. Sprinkle both with cheese and then a layer of chicken; repeat twice more with each layer getting smaller in circumference. Finish with an extra sprinkling of cheese. Bake just until the cheese melts, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Serve one dish as is. On the other, layer on the jalapenos, black olives, tomatoes, green onions and sour cream.
